This summarizes the catch 22 that currently has the caching directory 
hardcoded in the call to xarCache_init in index.php - we need to, at 
least, know where to find the config.caching.php file before we can load 
any other config options into xarCache.

The same will be true of config.system.php - it needs to be somewhere 
predictable to get things started.

First thought that comes to me: a pre-core loader and a 
config.minial.php file in the root directory that has (maybe no more 
than) one value - the location of the var dir.

I'm pretty sure others (Johnny and Marcel?) were talking about solving 
this problem before - do we know what the plan was then?
